In this building you can see three levels of cells. The wide hallway is where they would show movies. Some medical services and haircuts. Phone booths -3 only.
Below, where the stairs are, contain the dungeons where serious criminals were kept. You can see they had limited light and seclusion. One man was sent there for 30 years before he died - a mass murderer.
The two images look in opposite direction down the same hall and I took them a couple hours apart.
It is suggested as a prisoner better not to snore at night!
Peace and freedom and justice and the law were broken by the police during the demonstration in Berlin;
the government, which is responsible for it,
now shows its true totalitarian face shamelessly open.
Now everything that was feared for months is coming true -
wake up, people all over the world,
and try to stop this development all together!

A wonderful day, took lots of shots, so not going to waste any! People in the valley were walking around in the foggy gloom, with rather glum faces, people up here were jogging, bike riding, dog walking etc, all smiles and greetings 'isn't it a lovely day' ......just shows how the conditions affect us. Minus 4C today.
I've been trying to capture this in the right light for a couple of years now and finally this evening I think I might have captured what i wanted. This Stone Circle is almost hidden away on the moors and I wanted to capture it as the sun was setting
The shackle of a rusty padlock.
Please enlarge to see the rusty detail.
Reverse mounted my lens to give a greater macro ability.
... but the other horses stayed out of the photo.

For the first time I tried doing a livestream as I was set up to take this shot. I know I am NOT a videographer! (I'm barely a photographer!) Anyway I did at least manage to get this.
Harden is a small country town in NSW, full of history. The surrounding farmland is full of charming rural scenes - a photographers dream.
I have met these ethnic Tibetan boy in his native village on 2,380 m altitude in Manaslu area (Nepal). You may not find in the whole world such an independent and self confident children like those in Himalayas who live a simple natural life. While parents are busy working on the farm, these kids learn empirically the world around them. In such a harsh environment for children from the first years had to become self-sufficient.
Though my mother of 9 was a gentle soul, she had been hardened through the knocks of life. As a young child, a doctor operated on her on the kitchen table at the farm and at the age of 17 with a pile of siblings in the back seat, she drove a car much like the one shown from Havelock, Iowa to Frankfort, South Dakota over 300+ miles to a new home, much of the way over unpaved roads. As a young woman her hands were more used to farm chores than expensive manicures and she would not have understood the self worship of selfies taken by cell phones.

They do not have the slightest knowledge of the achievements of industrial civilization, but it does not prevent them becoming strong, harmonious, happy and whole person.
